SUMMARY:Salon Series | Live Music with Tyler Ramsey & Carl Broemel at Highlander Mountain House

Parking available on the property or street behind HMH.

A marvel of interwoven musicianship and testament to the duo’s singular camaraderie\, the album encapsulates the two veteran guitarist-songwriters’ mutual admiration and effortless compatibility as they swap and share nine new songs of dazzling dexterity and grace recorded almost entirely recorded on acoustic guitars.

SUMMARY:Mindful Birding Workshop at Highlands Biological Station
DESCRIPTION:Mindful Birding with Instructor Topher Stephens \nMindful Birding is a practice of heightening our awareness and opening our senses—and our hearts—to the beauty of the natural world. Unlike traditional bird walks where identifying and listing species is the primary goal\, this workshop invites participants to slow down and experience birds in a more attentive and reflective way. \nThroughout the day\, we will move slowly through the landscape\, allowing ourselves the rare opportunity to observe individual birds with patience and curiosity. While we will certainly help participants spot birds and notice some of their distinctive characteristics\, our focus will be on presence\, observation\, and connection rather than checklists. \nUsing birds as our guides\, participants will explore ways to deepen their relationship with the living landscape while also becoming more aware of their own internal experiences of awe\, joy\, and wonder in nature. Through quiet observation\, guided reflection\, and gentle discussion\, this workshop creates space to engage with birds—and the environment around us—in a more mindful and meaningful way. \nMindful Birding is designed to be welcoming and accessible to everyone. No experience with birding or mindfulness practices is necessary. In fact\, we will all be cultivating a “beginner’s mind\,” approaching the natural world with openness\, curiosity\, and fresh attention. \nThis workshop offers a unique opportunity to slow down\, tune in\, and rediscover the simple yet profound experience of being present in nature. \nPlease Bring \n• Binoculars if you have them (loaner pairs will be available if needed)\n• A lightweight Crazy Creek–style camp chair or small foam pad for sitting\n• Weather-appropriate layers and comfortable outdoor footwear

SUMMARY:Live on Screen | Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin at Highlands PAC
DESCRIPTION:Following her acclaimed 2024 company debut in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly\, soprano Asmik Grigorian returns to the Met as Tatiana\, the lovestruck young heroine in this ardent operatic adaptation of Pushkin. Baritone Igor Golovatenko reprises his portrayal of the urbane Onegin\, who realizes his affection for her all too late. \nThe Met’s evocative production\, directed by Tony Award–winner Deborah Warner\, “offers a beautifully detailed reading of Tchaikovsky’s lyrical romance” (The Telegraph).
